I saw that the person coming was Princess Ningping.
Lu Qian was a little surprised, why is this woman here?
Xiao Lizi covered her face, feeling aggrieved and just about to speak.
Lu Qian stopped him with his eyes.
After Princess Ningping came in, she said to Lu Qian with a domineering look on her face, "Xiao Qianzi, you have only been a small steward for a few days, but you are so bold that even I dare to stop you."
"Your Highness Princess, it's me and I have come to ask Master for something. The little eunuch at the door told everyone not to come in." Liu Shiqing took a step forward and quickly came to the rescue.
"Mr. Liu, that's it. Mr. Liu, I came here specifically to find you." The originally angry Princess Ningping suddenly became very gentle.
Lu Qian was at the side.
It was immediately obvious that Ning Ping seemed to be interested in his silly apprentice.
Liu Shiqing also asked bluntly, "Your Highness, what do you want from me?"
Princess Ningping glanced at Lu Qian and said, "Mr. Liu, this is not the place to talk."
After saying that, he took Liu Shiqing and left in a hurry.
Arriving at Lanyue Palace where she lived.
Princess Ningping tried a few words with Liu Shiqing.
However, Liu Shiqing was very strict and did not ask a single word.
Ning Ping suddenly looked unhappy and said to Liu Shiqing, "Mr. Liu, do you really not know? Or are you unwilling to tell?"
In fact, Liu Shiqing had long been dissatisfied with Concubine Hua and her group, and did not want to mince words and said bluntly, "Your Highness, if you are here to find out how the eldest prince and the others raise money for disaster relief, I have no comment. I know the relationship between the eldest prince and the sixth prince. There is some competition among them. I have no intention of getting involved. I just want to serve the people wholeheartedly. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Mr. Liu, are you stupid? Chief Li and the others are using you as a pawn." Princess Ningping said angrily.
Liu Shiqing turned to look at him and said, "Then princess, you are not the same, aren't you?"
Ning Ping was stunned when asked by Liu Shiqing.
Liu Shiqing left without waiting for her answer.
Went to the household department.
Just joined the household department,
I saw a group of officials, lazily reading Xianshu with little interest.
When Liu Shiqing came in, he just glanced at him and ignored him.
He continued to look at the book in his hand.
The original Hubu Shangshu was called Huoku, the youngest son of Commander Huo, and the younger brother of the current Concubine Hua.
He has been the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than ten years, and he has single-handedly promoted all the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Therefore, Lu Qian expected that they would definitely give Lu Qian a blow.
However, Lu Qian also told him how to deal with it.
He was not in a hurry and looked around first.
In such a large household department, there is only one young man, who is busy with a mountain of accounts, just like an alien.
"What's your name?" Liu Shiqing looked at the young man and asked curiously.
The young man heard the voice and slowly raised his head, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"I am the new Minister of Household Affairs, Liu Shiqing."
Seeing Liu Shiqing introduce himself, the young man became more and more nervous. "Sir, my lord, I apologize. I was busy just now and didn't notice you. My name is Deng... Deng Shoutian..."
Liu Shiqing nodded, picked up an account and took a look at it. The account was very clear.
"Everyone is resting, why are you busy?" Liu Shiqing asked calmly.
"Reply...Reply...Sir...I...I will...take...the national salary, just...just...should be...worthy of...the salary given by the country..." Deng Shoutian stammered replied.
Deng Shoutian's words drew scornful smiles from some other officials.
Liu Shiqing said with a stern look, "Okay, it seems that everyone can hear it. This is the best. Except for Deng Shoutian, the entire household department will not come to the household department tomorrow. You guys
All were deposed! "
As soon as Liu Shiqing finished speaking, an old man jumped up and said, "Why! We are all veterans of the Ministry of Revenue, you have no right to fire us."
The old man's words quickly attracted everyone's agreement.
"Why? Just because you are in your position and don't do anything! I will depose you today. Even if I am in the hall tomorrow, I dare to tell His Majesty!"
"When the time comes, see if Hoku can protect you!"
Liu Shiqing said domineeringly.
The leader of the old man said with disdain, "Huangkou kid. Do you think you can scare us like this? Just leave! We will be back in a few days, but you may not even be able to save your head. But , remember, we were not removed by you, but left on our own! We will definitely impeach you!"
Everyone nodded and agreed.
He said that he was about to leave.
Liu Shiqing just smiled and watched them leave.
When the group of people saw that Liu Shiqing didn't want to stay, they suddenly became suspicious.
But because Huoku told them, Liu Shiqing was given a warning. Liu Shiqing is just a nerd. As long as they don't cooperate with him, he won't be able to do anything to them.
It won't take long, as long as the disaster relief funds cannot be raised, Liu Shiqing will have to get out, and he will have to take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, I never expected that it would be self-defeating now.
The group of people stood at the door of the household and said to the leader, the old man, "Master Zhang, look... what should we do?"
"Don't worry, we are working for Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo will not ignore us, we just go back and rest. In less than a week, they will not be able to raise the relief funds, and the child with a yellow mouth will probably be dead."
Everyone nodded, even imagining that after Hoku returned to the household department, he would be rewarded based on his merits.
After seeing them leave, Liu Shiqing did as Lu Qian said.
An announcement for the issuance of 'Treasury Bonds' was drafted.
After a while, "Brother Liu! Brother Liu! Why are all those officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs gone?"
Liu Shiqing raised his head, looked at Xia Wenzhi coming over in a hurry and said with a smile, "I drove him away?"
"You drove them all away? How will the household department operate?" Xia Wenzhi said worriedly.
Liu Shiqing said, "They just think that I can't raise the funds for disaster relief. Once they know that I have raised the funds for disaster relief, they will definitely come back as soon as possible."
"Does Mr. Lu still want to use the method of issuing national bonds he mentioned?" Xia Wenzhi asked.
Liu Shiqing nodded and said, "That's right! And the details have been released. The cycle is half a year, and you can get 30% profit if you buy treasury bonds. If you buy more than 100,000 taels, you can get 50% profit."
"Such a high profit? Although it can solve an urgent need, if you can't get the money for half a year, I'm afraid it will be a turmoil." Xia Wenzhi said with some worry.
"It is conservatively estimated that selling fine salt will be enough to exchange for national debt when the time comes. My master also asked me to tell you that he has more than one way to make money from fine salt. So, you can invest as much as you can. This It must be a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money." Liu Shiqing said.
